The DHDFD's


The DHDFD's are a four-piece New Zealand garage punk band who formed during the summer of 2005 in the Point Chevalier area of Auckland New Zealand. They released a five track E.P, "Pastor of Muppets", in September 2006 which has subsequently sold out, going on to record a video for their single "Pompino's Magical Blast", receiving considerable rotation on Alt TV.
The band have played alongside such internationally recognised acts as King Brothers, The Mint Chicks, The Black Lips, and local artists Rackets, The Demi Whores, and Pika few, as well as the 2009 Big Day Out festival in Auckland.
Their live shows have drawn both acclaim and criticism for their anarchic, chaotic performance – in mid 2008, Scot Brown's ascension of the lighting rig at Auckland venue Space saw the group barred for the foreseeable future.
Scott Brown's chaotic behavior and dire attitude has resulted in low audience numbers in recent years. In turn, the band has become dated, with aged members desperately trying to hold onto their youth and what little remains of their hair.

Influences

The DHDFD's cite influences as diverse as Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, Frank Zappa, The Melvins, The Easybeats, Beach Boys. Their energetic live shows have drawn comparisons to the likes of The Jesus Lizard, Black Flag, The Stooges and 2008 touring buddies King Brothers.
